Poker enthusiasts, get ready! The grand prize in The Big Bad Beat Jackpot is now up for grabs in the Poker Room!
In an exciting turn of events, Pokerdom, a popular online poker platform, recently witnessed a significant Bad Beat Jackpot win at one of its Hold'em NL (No Limit) tables. The Bad Beat Jackpot round, a feature exclusive to Pokerdom, took place on January 4th at 15:59 in the ALA time zone, at the Oporto #6655 table.
The Bad Beat Jackpot is a unique feature that offers a chance for players to win a portion of a shared jackpot, especially for those experiencing a bad beat—a loss with a very strong hand. In this case, the losing hand was four of a kind twos, a rare occurrence in poker.
The Bad Beat Jackpot round requires a minimum of two players, and both the winner and loser of the hand must proceed to the final showdown. In this instance, 136 active players were part of the action, with each player at neighbouring tables contributing to the excitement.
The winner of the hand received 20% of the jackpot, amounting to 187,366 rubles. The loser, who experienced the bad beat, received a consolation prize of 30% or 280,649 rubles. The remaining 10% was distributed among all active players during the round, with each player receiving 861 rubles.
Interestingly, 20% of the jackpot also goes into the starting prize pool of the new bad beat jackpot, ensuring that the excitement continues even after a jackpot is hit.
This jackpot win is not the largest recorded on Pokerdom. On August 14, 2018, a player from Kazakhstan took home more than 2,200,000 tenge (6,110 dollars) after a Bad Beat Jackpot win.
Pokerdom offers separate Bad Beat Jackpots for Hold'em and Omaha tables, catering to a wide range of poker enthusiasts. For those playing on mobile devices, Pokerdom currently has a "First Mobile Rebuy Race" leaderboard, with a prize fund of 1,000,000 rubles, running from January 4th to 20th.
